Could a switch to a back 3 help De Zerbi’s Spurs?

If you go back 3, what about Tosin on right, and either Van Hecke or Senesi in the center? We don't need 2 distributors at CB with Matteus in the pivot.

That also works!

This season our main issues lie in OOP intensity and shape. Your breakdown is good in possession but we’ve been decent in possession anyways I feel. RDZ should focus on maintaining our intensity levels throughout the match and work on our OOP game, it will fix many issues.

This is a fair point for sure

Let's not do this, the current formation is just fine.

- 20th in the league -

No mate. Realise we are very fluid; we currently play 2 or 3 at the back in possession because a full back inverts and the other bombs on, with Fernandes and Tonali and Gallagher filling spaces so adding a third centre back does NOT help us score

I’ve felt like he hasn’t had Fernandes in the pivot because he’s scared of security This provides that Van Hecke can easily step in to provide an extra midfielder

This but with Porro. Right now our full backs are our best wingers. Rotate Solanke with whoever out of the front 3 is off form or when a proper 9 suit the gameplan.

I really think it could

Played around with some back 3 ideas but can't see it working. Good part is getting our attackers closer together centrally in the absence of a 10 linking play, but the wb options do not suit this at all, including Udogie. Savio rwb is causing many more problems than it's fixing.

savio at wing back no chance when have to defend as back 5 for spells. kudus was poor in 10 against villa, impacted goal as winger

No, not playing a defensive midfielder will help us score goals

You guys are shit but kudos for thinking about how fix it. 👏
